The Companion, Maya

Opera Memphis will make its long-awaited return to Playhouse on the Square this March with a titilating double bill entitled Pygmalion 2.0. Exploring themes of desire, control, frustration, and perfection, this production pairs Donizetti’s Pygmalion with Robert Paterson and David Cote’s provocative rom-com, The Companion (from the opera Three Way). While the former takes its inspiration from the Roman poet Ovid and the ancient tale of a sculptor and king, the latter catapults the audience into the not-so-distant future, where companion robots can be customized to satisfy any clientele. Despite the centuries that separate these stories, both highlight the profound desire for companionship and the unforeseen and often comic results of attempting to design the perfect lover.
